Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

We acquired him directly from the previous owner. He is 1 1/2 years old with high energy. Is very skittish but once he gets use to you he loves to cuddle up and be playful. He loves to play with chew toys but unfortunately he tares them to pieces very quickly. He loves to play fetch at the dog park but you need two balls to keep the fetching going otherwise he tares the ball up. He is very funny and very adorable with the things he does.

He’s a sweet dog, very adventurous, very happy, eats healthy, loves sweet potato and any vegetables. He loves soups unsalted. He loves having an array of toys and loves a good tough bed. He loves to hunt and loves the wilderness. He is extremely gentle with children. He is also very sociable. He comes from a family of Mennonites and his parents were cow herders. He is great at letting you know that someone is approaching the door.Letting him go will hurt us deeply, but he needs a good home and someone to give him time.

Jack Russell Terrier

Good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Alan's Story Meet Alan! Alan is a handsome 1-year-old Jack Russell mix weighing 28 pounds who is ready to find a loving forever home. He came to us after being surrendered by his previous owner through no fault of his own, and he's excited for a fresh start. Like many young Jack Russells, Alan is full of energy and loves to stay active. He's a sweet, friendly boy with an enthusiastic personality, and he'll thrive with a family that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and continued training. Alan is still working on his leash manners and can be a strong puller, so he'll benefit from someone willing to help him polish his walking skills. Alan gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion. However, his strong prey drive means he would probably chase cats, so a cat-free home is recommended. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, and energetic companion to join you on life's adventures, Alan could be the perfect match. Come meet this lovable guy and see if he's the missing piece to your family! Please apply for Alan at https://www.gloucestercountynj.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Shelter-5/PreAdoption-Application-50

Story

🦸‍♀️ SUPER HERO NEEDED TO SAVE HER LIFE 🦸‍♀️ She didn’t lose her family because she wasn’t loved. She lost everything because her owner was incarcerated, and now this frightened little girl is paying the price. The shelter is terrifying for her. Every loud noise, every unfamiliar face, every day behind kennel bars leaves her more overwhelmed. When she’s scared, she may give a warning snarl—not because she’s aggressive, but because she’s desperately asking for space while she tries to understand that she’s safe. Beneath that fear is a gentle soul who melts into soft cuddles once she begins to trust. She even has the sweetest little habit of “talking” to her people in her own adorable way, as if she’s trying so hard to tell someone what she’s needs. Her overgrown nails are a reminder that life hasn’t been easy for her, but none of that has taken away her chance to love. She doesn’t need perfection. She doesn’t need someone without patience. She just needs one hero willing to see beyond her fear and give her the time, kindness, and security she’s been missing. Please don’t let this scared little girl lose her life simply because she’s afraid. She deserves the chance to decompress, feel safe again, and discover what it means to be loved. A foster, rescue, or adopter could be the hero who saves her life today. 💔🐾 PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Frosty

Jack Russell Terrier/Maltese

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos

Oak Ridge, NJ

Good with dogs,

Story

It’s the perfect time to cool down with Frosty ☃️ 🍦 He was surrendered to animal control looking like a swamp thing with some matted dreadlocks hanging over his face, but after a sedated trim (and neuter) we found a pretty cute little scruffy terrier mix under there. He was very scared in the shelter and didn’t have the best behavior notes from his previous home- some food aggression, not always nice to all members of the family, and he wasn’t cooperative for grooming. But he has warmed up pretty nicely, craves human attention and dances and smiles, and gets along well with other dogs. He’s 2 1/2 years old, under 15lbs and some kind of Maltese/yorkie/Jack Russell type we think- he does shed and doesn’t have the type of hair that mats easily unless he was never touched or brushed. He wasn’t a fan of the vet or being restrained but has been letting us pick him up and a pretty agreeable guy as long as you respect his space and limit. He has a lot of potential for someone who understands quirky little dogs and will treat him like a real dog and not a stuffed animal purse dog to dress up and fuss over too much. Too much smothering and hugging may cause him to melt 🥵 Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Frosty 🥶 in Northern NJ Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ. To streamline adoptions, all communication before, during, and after the adoption process is done through email only: we have limited volunteers able to return phone calls. Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process and email any questions to us at njwoof@cs.com. Please check your email regularly for next steps. All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption and we do not have a central shelter location. We are a small all-volunteer organization focused on rescuing local dogs from area shelters, as well as accepting some surrenders and puppy mill rescues.
